Extract
Thus my conclusion is not very far from Card’s, but it rests on very different grounds. A pluralistic framework leads to an expectation that the pharmacist provide EC, even while acknowledging the legitimacy of his view that using it is wrong. The pharmacist should in this kind of case respect and yield to the differing view of the client. Yet in other kinds of situations—such as when what is required is direct action, as distinct from mere assistance—conscientious objection should sometimes be allowed.
